Definitions

  • the present invention relates to welding seams of and in longitudinally, seam, welded tubes or pipes of large diameter and having wall thicknesses from about 10 to about 40 millimeter. More particularly, the invention relates to welding seams of microalloy steel containing niobium and/or vanadium.
  • Such pipes are, for example, used in arctic zones and the strengths and ductility of such a seam under such conditions becomes of particular importance.
  • the conditions for welding are rather unfavorable in the beginning because of the stratification of the material to be welded; moreover an additional problem exists in that the welding seam is comprised of about 2/3 of molten pipe material and about 1/3 of molten welding wire or rod.
  • the metallurgy of the resulting welding seam is also influenced by the powder for the submerged arc welding process.
  • a welding wire should be used having the following consistency:
  • FIG. 1 is a graph in which impact notch work is plotted against nickel content
  • FIG. 2 is a graph in which notch impact work is plotted against temperature of use.
  • a particular sheet metal steel was made by thermal mechanical rolling of a final thickness of 17 mm and consisting of micro-alloyed Mn/Nb/V steel having particularly the following consistency:
  • the welding was particularly conducted in submerged arc welding procedure using a basic powder having Bonischewski basicity of approximately 4.
  • FIG. 1 shows the impact notch work at a temperature of -20° C. for various nickel contents. One can readily see that for nickel contents above about 1%, the impact notch work increased. The impact notch work is quite high for nickel contents of about 2%.
  • pipes were welded having 48" diameter and 20.3 mm wall thickness and particularly consisting of a micro-alloyed Mn/Mo/Nb steel having, in addition to iron, the following chemical consistency:
  • the joint of the split pipe was submerged-arc welded using three wires of the W3 type having a very low carbon content and being of the Nickel Molybdenum alloy type. Also, a basic powder was used for the welding. After the welding seam was completed the seam had the following chemical consistency (in addition to Fe):
  • this particular seam has, as is desired, a relatively low carbon content, being as low as 0.05%, while the nickel content is in excess of 2%, namely 2.2%.
  • the higher Mo content of about 0.42% results from a mixture of the wire material with the pipe material but is not necessary in accordance with the prior investigations, but this Mo content did not provide any detriment.
  • the seam has a very low O 2 content ranging from about 0.02 to about 0.03%.
  • the very low P and S contents are a very desired feature.
  • the impact notch work in accordance with the Charpy-V-notch samples with a notch in the top of the seam, perpendicularly to the surface of the pipe was determined.
  • a band of measuring values was obtained which is depicted in FIG. 2.
  • the measuring values vary in accordance with temperature. This Figure demonstrates excellent ductility and toughness even at very low temperatures; it was found that the resulting grain texture of the seam was quite favorable for withstanding low temperatures.
  • the relatively high nickel content changed the conversion characteristics and behavior of the weld material in such a manner that the ferrite formation could be shifted to longer periods. Accordingly, a uniform fine grain bainitic texture was obtained considering that the characteristic cooling speeds t 8/5 is approximately 50 seconds.
